Landing on runway 17 at AYKO Kokoda Airport in the Kodiak 100

Landing Score 86.18 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question is a Kodiak 100, which successfully landed at AYKO Kokoda Airport on runway 17. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 180.0° at an altitude of 131 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 1,080 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was too high at 86 knots, which may have contributed to the subsequent issues with the landing. The touchdown point was significantly long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway, indicating that the aircraft may have been too far back from the optimal touchdown position.

The touchdown speed of 74 knots was also reported as fast, which may have been a result of the high threshold speed. On the other hand, the touchdown rate of 17 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 23.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the high threshold speed and subsequent issues with the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 314°. There was no crosswind or headwind present, which would have made the landing even more challenging. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed and improving the alignment of the touchdown position.
